Hon J. D. Ingham Secretary of the Treasury H. L. Yours of 25 th July last has just come to hand. I am sorry to give you so much trouble about my claim under the Act for the relief of certain surviving officers and soldiers of the Army of the Revolution of 15 th May 1828.
You say the further evidence transmit- ted in support of my claim under the above mentioned Act has been examined but not found satisfactory. Please be so good as to write me in what the insufficiency consists, without this information particularly given it will be next to impossible to supply the defect. I enlisted in the 4 th North Carolina Regiment of the North Carolina Line, but as I have been informed by Robert Wilson of the county of Morgan in this state, when the time of service the three year & eighteen months men were discharged the regiment being much reduced we were put in or attached to the 1 st Regiment. I have an offi- cer who was both lieutenant and major thanks to the manor of Curtis Esq who lives in the western part of Tennessee

as soon as I can do so I will get his deposition and send it to you. Be so good as to write me the infor- mation I request for the deposition and say what will be insufficient land Was very desirous to obtain a forward to you a sufficiency of testimony of persons who received with the can be found. Mr Robert Wilson is a pensioner under a former act of Congress. With esteem yours &c Stephen Garrison
